These are additional configurations that you must set to reconnect to your virtual appliances after enabling Dedicated Management.

Connecting to the management port

Enabling Dedicated Management will disconnect your SSH connectivity to the Management interface. Once you enable Dedicated Management, you must re-establish the SSH connection to the Management interface.

To reconnect to your instance after enabling Dedicated Management:
  • Establish your SSH connection to the Dedicated Management interface.
    ssh -i <key_pair_file_name> bluecat@<dedicated_management_ip>

Adding a static route

After enabling Dedicated Management, if Address Manager and BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS are not on the same subnet, you must manually add a static route on BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS virtual appliances to allow connectivity to Address Manager via the Dedicated Management interface.

To add a static route for Address Manager:
  • Add a static route indicating to where the BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS server should send packets.
